, identifying each attribute and itscharacteristics, and identifying the excellent and poor quality work using narrative descriptivecriteria. Holistic rubrics and analytical rubrics are both used to measures students understandingof course content. Holistic rubrics provide a choice to state the highest and lowest levels ofperformance combining the descriptors for all attributes and analytical rubrics state the highestand lowest levels of performance using the descriptions for each attribute separately. The use ofrubrics allows the instructor to provide quality feed back to the student along with providingevaluation and reflection opportunities for an instructor as well. The use of rubrics in a technicalprogram will provide accountability and evaluation

, and then to be reflective after the completion of their first semester at ISU.Both the pre and post-surveys are projected to be implemented in March 2009 as a joint effortbetween members of the SEEC Learning Village O-Team and Advising O-Team.ConclusionWe are looking forward to determining our impact on pre-engineering transfer students, andbased on preliminary evidence we are beginning to see indications of success. We hope tocollect and analyze all data during spring 2009 semester with the assistance of the Evaluation O-Team. This will allow our team to see the results of utilizing a holistic approach to createconnections between community college pre-engineering students and ISU’s College ofEngineering. These results will be used to inform
) reflecting tuition and cost of living increases in the last 5 years. The NSFscholarship of a total of $8,000/student requested was in addition to other grants and aid awardedby our university.Program-Specific Transfer Credits: EET programs at our university have articulation agreementswith twenty 2-year schools. The articulation agreements are designed to transfer in credit tobring each student at or close to 3rd year level at our university. These articulations areperiodically discussed and refined at the annual conferences of our state’s EngineeringTechnology Association and the Two Year Engineering Science Association.To allow students greater curricular flexibility, including the opportunity to earn a minor inanother discipline, we completed a
